40. What myth do you believe is real? Is it a good replacement for rationalism?
I am about ready to give up and put my head in the faith sand right about now, If your myth is believable, I may hide my head there.
(it is just too hard for me to buy the invisible superman theory proposed by most western faiths, I need a more clever myth to fool me into a happy sleep)

It would be so much easier to believe than it is to see our culture and biological world die.
With the right blinders, perhaps I can ignore a sad reality in exchange for a happy faith.

I am a smart ass for sure, but I am really asking for the faith narcotic (if you have a good one), I find it harder and harder to face the reality that is right in front of me.
I am poor, extremely ill, and there is no help available for me and others.
Truth hurts and I can't afford any medication.

Maybe I can die with a smile.
If only I can believe the right story and pretend it is real.
